Tjukayirla Roadhouse

Allie and Al were very friendly and helpful with local sites. Although they do make the “best burgers” in the world, they do have other great food ( fresh fruit and vege also) available. Thank you

They have fuel. Other than that the owners seem unfriendly, like they are angry or something we couldn't work it out but on both occasions it was the same. Unhelpful and unfriendly on the verge or rude it's disappointing. If they are over the road house life the they should sell it to some people that will run it like Warakuna which is an awesome experience for road trippers

Awesome customer service and advise given by the lovely lady behind the counter.

I cannot say alot, as it's my husband that delivers every day items and food to the remote Aboriginal Communities every 2 weeks. On the rare occasions I travel with him, I'm either sleeping or just comfy in the truck so I don't get out often at the communities. The one thing I can say and guarantee is DUST! LOTS and LOTS of dust. I would not advise travelling the roads out in the desert in anything smaller than a 4WD in dry weather as roads are rough, and even a 4WD should not tempt fate in wet weather. It's an interesting trip if you want to go that way to Alice Springs.

Lovely clean roadhouse with a good selection of foods - fresh and prepared (considering its isolation). Very friendly service both times that we visited.The second time we stayed in the non-powered camping. Lovely area. Amazing clean showers with lots of added touches (pegs and baskets and washing machine in the locked ladies amenities). A box for adding old clothes to be donated to locals who need them was very thoughtful and great for us as our youngest had grown out of several items during our trip. Great to know that they were going to a worthy cause.The open-sided camp kitchen had everything - including tea towels and a coits set. Large communal fireplace would have been fun to use if we weren't so tired.Highly recommended.

Amazing staff. We were there for one night and we were amazed by the cleanliness of the place. Not what you'd expected being out in the desert. The price was great. We paid 60 dollars for a room with 2 beds (that what you pay for a powered site in most places)Would definitely stay again

Pretty basic but served a purpose as an overnight stop on a bike trip in 2019.Only rooms with communal bathroom, but they were clean enough.Food was basic but reasonable quality, for a remote outpost.Nothing comes cheap on the Central Road - how much advantage is being taken of the isolated location and lack of competition I’ll never know - but it is what it is.Put it down to the experience.There are better roadhouses elsewhere, but they can be dearer again.And there are plenty worse than this.The staff and management were friendly towards me, both at check in and at dinner - no complaints.

Another very isolated roadhouse along the Great Central Road.

The road house is a nice place to stay overnight, all the facilities are clean and tidy. We stayed at the unpowered campsite and it was perfect.Such a great dinner with Norman and the mining crew that is living there.

Adam & Alli are very experienced roadhouse operators. Exceptional hosts.I stayed in a budget room for several days while working in the area and had a wonderful home cooked meal in my room fridge each night along with lunch & snacks - the costs were very reasonable and made a difficult job much easier.The sunrises & sunsets are magnificent.This is big sky country, bring a telescope or binoculars for fantastic stargazing.A very welcome stop after a long journey on corrugated gravel roads.Don't attempt this journey in anything smaller than a Hilux 4WD. You'll need the suspension travel. A traveller I met here in a Subaru 4WD wishes he had a taller vehicle.
